All Year
Round Nursery

The Forest journey begins in our Nursery, where children join the Forest family from the age of 2. In September 2022, we made significant investments in the Nursery, relocating it to a newly refurbished, standalone building within the beautiful school grounds and began opening all year round (48 weeks of the year).

Our Nursery class is for children aged 2 who turn 3 during the academic year.
